[Idempotency Supported](/docs/api/idempotency)

Delete a **payment source** reference from a Chargebee customer without deleting or altering payment source data stored at the payment gateway.

### Impacts

**

Payment Source

**

Sets `deleted` = `true` on the specified `payment_source` and detaches it from the customer. The payment source is no longer accessible through the API or the UI.

**

Customer

**

If the deleted `payment_source` is the customer's only payment method and [`auto_collection`](/docs/api/customers/customer-object#auto_collection) is `on`, [automatic payment collection](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/billing/2.0/customers/customers#auto-collection-status) for future invoices fails.

If the deleted payment source was the [primary](/docs/api/customers/customer-object#primary_payment_source_id) payment method for the customer, and a [backup](/docs/api/customers/customer-object#backup_payment_source_id) exists, Chargebee promotes the backup to primary.

If no backup is set but other `payment_source` objects exist for the [customer](/docs/api/payment_sources/payment_source-object#customer_id), Chargebee promotes one of them to primary.

**

Subscription

**

When you delete a payment source [linked](/docs/api/subscriptions/subscription-object#payment_source_id) to an active [subscription](/docs/api/subscriptions), Chargebee immediately clears the `payment_source_id` on that subscription. Future charges use the customer's `primary_payment_source_id`.
